Document may be corrupt.

I can confirm the behaviour (Win 10, Lo 5.3.1.2 - x64), but I do not think, this is a LO problem.

The Document structure contains a lot of Word Templates (Paragraph and Character) (WW_xxx) and those templates will couse strange effekts sometimes. 

So, the best way ist to redesign the document and create it completly new without importing templates and without using "Copy&paste" becouse in this case sometimes the "WW_xxx" templates will be imported too!

I would say: No bug.

The style "Default Style", which is applied to the paragraph, has the option "Auto update" enabled. You find this option in the tab "Organize" in the edit style dialog. You have marked not only single characters but a entire paragraph. Therefor the character change is applied to the entire paragraph and because of "Auto update" it does not only change the marked paragraph but the assigned paragraph style too.

We might discuss, whether it is necessary to mark from start to end to mark an entire paragraph or whether mark from start of paragraph to start of next paragraph is needed.
